You can enable users to access the help system over
the Internet or an intranet, by installing the help system web application
on a web server. Users open a URL in the web browser, which results in
help system displayed. The infocenter help system can be also used for client
applications and for web applications, that wish to have their help accessed
remotely. All features except infopops and active help are supported.

The instructions provided go over installing and configuring the
infocenter application. Steps are provided for IBM WebSphere
Application Server 4.0.3 Advanced Edition Single Server, and Apache
Tomcat 4.0.4 on Windows. Other servers should be similar.

1. Install
Eclipse

Download Eclipse SDK or Platform
Runtime Binary from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.
Unzip Eclipse on a system. The directory called "eclipse"
will be created. Documentation contributed by plugins in Eclipse
installation will be made available for remote browsing. Let us assume
you unzipped Eclipse to "d:\".

2. Download
Infocenter

Download Eclipse Infocenter from the same page you downloaded the eclipse driver in Step 1. Create a directory "infocenter" on your system and unzip the
infocenter driver. Let us assume that this directory is "d:\infocenter\". The directory should contain a web module (.WAR file) and the legal documents.

Edit TOMCAT_HOME\bin\setclasspath.bat file and after the
line:set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
insert the line:set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.webapp_2.0.1\eclipseurl.jar

4. Point
Infocenter application to the Eclipse installation

WebSphere Application Server

Open the WAR file in d:\infocenter\" using Application Assembly Tool
Select Context Parameters in the tree
Set the value of ECLIPSE_HOME parameter to D:\eclipse
click Apply, and save the application archive.

Tomcat

Create a help subdirectory, d:\infocenter\help\
Unjar the WAR file from d:\infocenter into the "help" subdirectory.
directory
In the file WEB-INF/web.xml replace lines
<param-name>ECLIPSE_HOME</param-name>
<param-value></param-value>
with
<param-name>ECLIPSE_HOME</param-name>
<param-value>D:/eclipse</param-value>

Copy the directory created in step 4 (d:\infocenter\help) to
D:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4\webapps.
If you use jdk1.4 to run Tomcat, you need to delete file D:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4\common\lib\xerces.jar
Restart the server.

6. Point
a web browser to the path of the web application.

WebSphere

Open the following URL http://localhost/help/ or
http://localhost:9080/help/.
